Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Structural formula for the product of the given alkene addition reaction should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

According to Markovnikov’s rule in the addition of hydrogen halide to an alkene hydrogen adds to the doubly bonded carbon which already has the greater number of hydrogens bonded to it; halogen adds to the other carbon.
